Asteria, Greek Goddess of the Stars

Asteria is the Greek Goddess of the stars, prophetic dreams and
necromancy. She is one of the Titans and daughter to the God Coeus and the Goddess
Phoebe who were both original Titans born from chaos. Asteria is known
for reading the stars (astrology) and prophetic dreams. She and her
husband, Perses, God of destruction, are parents of the Goddess Hekate.

There is a myth involving Asteria in which her body becomes the creation
of the island Delos. Asteria was fleeing from the God Zeus who was
sexually pursuing her. She transformed into a quail and threw herself
into the ocean to get away from him. It was then that the God Poseidon
pursued her and the quail she became then turned into the island Ortygia
(quail) which later became known as Delos. It was there that her sister
Leto, seeking refuge from the jealous Hera, gave birth to Artemis and
Apollo. Asteria is sometimes referred to as Delos as the island was
originally named after her. In myth it is said that this island fell
from heaven like a star.

It is said that Asteria was a dream Goddess worshiped on her sacred
island of Delos. She is known as the oracle of night and sends prophetic
dreams. She is also said to be a Goddess of falling stars as well as
necromancy. She dwells in the realm of night amongst the stars and
dreams and also among the dead. Her daughter Hekate is also a Goddess of
night, the dead and necromancy. Call on Asteria when reading the stars,
before sleep and to communicate with spirits.

I am the beauty of the Earth, the green of growing things. I am the white Moon whose light is full among the stars and soft upon the Earth. From Me all things are born, to Me all things, in their seasons return. Let My worship be in your hearts, for all acts of love and pleasure are My rituals.
